oohhhh...I should bring my video cam....but it's well, not that big...wonder if I have any extra video tapes...probably not, my son uses them all for train videos.  Crud, besides with taking pics, I probably wouldn't be able to do that too. ;D

MX  what if we brought the pizza to the store, would you want some?

The thought is appreciated, but cheese is just something that I shouldn't have.  If I ate it, I might need to miss the signing.

If we all still want to meet at the book store first and see how things are, that would be cool.  I would be more than happy to walk with folks to grab something if it doesn't look busy then.  Just don't do it just on my account.  Still want to meet all of you :)

At the least, I'm going to wear my Harry Dresden is My Hero pin from the last signing and a Stone Cold hat.  It has the writing Arrive, Raise Hell, Leave on the back of the hat.  I don't have any cool costumes in the closet, though.  At least none that work well in this heat :(

nooooo heat is a bad word...esp with what I'm wearing :D and that sounds like a great idea, MX.
I believe in True Love, Susan and Harry will always be the one true love, because even reminders of that love will always remain.

Three hours of nest searching and six vegetation plots away.  :P

I believe at the store, then possibly getting something to eat *looks to the others*

Is it supposed to rain down there??? 

*hoping it doesn't as...well...I'm hoping my cloak doesn't run,as bright red on white really wouldn't be good...wonder if it's too late to wash it tonight*

*Looking at forecast on yahoo* Looks like a 78% chance of rain tomorrow. Thunderstorms, from the look of it.


You might have to go as Little Pink Ridinghood then.

I have a ginormous golf umbrella.  You're covered - unless it rains horizontal.

My current plan is to get up there early and have lucnh at a steakhouse in the area.  Then I plan on stopping in the bookstore for a bit and probably walking around till about two or so then head back to the store.

Btw, the hat I'll have on has a skull on the front, too.  Kinda fitting as this is Ghost Story and a character whom resides in a skull is a part of the Dresden files.  Stone Cold fits on there soomewhere too, now that I think about it.

You bringing enough to share with everyone, MX 

*gives you the evil eye when you mention the steakhouse*

Oh trust me, you won't miss Chiro and I, especially with me being with Chiro, she'll be the one hiding behind the umbrella..that's really why she's bringing it. ;D
